L'Oréal Pure Clay Masks

Hi all and Happy New Year. I'm back with something that is perfect for the New Year when we want to detox our skin from all the food and drink we've had over Christmas. I have been using these masks now for a couple of weeks and I am really impressed by them. They contain 3 Pure Clays, Koalin - a highly effective natural clay known to absorb impurities and excess sebum. Montmorillonite - Rich in minerals, a clay recognised for helping to eliminate imperfections. Ghassoul - A pure clay highly concentrated in minerals renowned to help clarify complexion.

The first one I used was the red coloured one which is The Pure Clay Glow Mask and is designed to brighten and exfoliate the skin, it contains 3 Pure Clays and Red Algae. I applied a thin layer of the mask to my face and left dry for 10 minutes, I then dampened the mask and massaged my face and used the beads in the mask to really exfoliate my skin, I then rinsed it off with warm water. Immediately after removing the mask my skin looked brighter and felt smoother and cleansed, one aspect i love about this mask is even afterwards my skin never felt dry like it does after some other masks, and the best thing about this mask is it can be used 2/3 times a week, an excuse for a mid-week pamper night.

The next mask I used was the black Pure Clay Detox Mask, this mask also contains 3 Pure Clays and Charcoal. The Charcoal in this mask acts like a magnet to draw out any impurities in the skin. Same as the last mask I applied a thin layer and left it dry for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water. My skin felt really clean afterwards, a lot of the lumps and bumps were gone, especially on my nose, but because it is a detoxing mask I applied a good hydrating moisturiser afterwards. Again this mask can also be used 2/3 times a week.

The last mask of the 3 is a Pure Clay Purity Mask, along with contains 3 Pure Clays this mask also contains Eucalyptus. The Eucalyptus is known for its purifying properties, this mask also mattifies, so great if you suffer from oily skin like me. It works the same way as the others, apply a thin layer and leave for 10 minutes. I really really liked this mask, the minute I applied it I could feel it tingling my skin, I love that from a mask as it shows its working. The thing I noticed most about this mask is how soft my skin was afterwards, nothing I have ever used before had made it that soft. And just like the others this can be used 2/3 times a week.

Another great thing about these masks is they can be used for multi-masking, which means you can use each one on an area you think needs targeting, using the purity mask on your T Zone and the Detox mask if you suffer from spots or just get a break out.
